Looks like a dream come true offer for the employees! The days of punching the bunch of colleterals while submitting the reimbursements seem over! I found this info and sharing as is, as it looks very interesting but only HR personnel would be rightly placed to evaluate and take it ahead.

HR TEAM needs to look at this -
